Welcome to Cisco SD-WAN Automation Consciousness Month!

On this planet of tool and equipment construction, API and automation equipment have transform very important for customizing and streamlining operational duties. Through leveraging those equipment, builders can create environment friendly workflows that save time and cut back mistakes whilst additionally bettering the entire high quality in their merchandise.

Cisco SD-WAN is an SD-WAN product designed to simplify WAN networking. With its complex automation and programmability options, Cisco SD-WAN permits builders to create custom designed workflows that beef up community efficiency and cut back operational overhead. On this three-week program, we will be able to discover the way to use other API and automation equipment to paintings with Cisco SD-WAN automation and achieve hands-on revel in with those tough equipment.

Week 1: REST API Fundamentals and SD-WAN REST APIs

Our first week will kick off with a webinar that introduces you to the fundamentals of REST API and the way it works with Cisco SD-WAN. You’ll be told in regards to the several types of API requests and responses and the way to paintings with SD-WAN REST APIs particularly.

After the webinar, you’ll give you the chance to wait a web based workshop the place you’ll observe the use of Postman to execute easy queries and navigate API documentation. We’ll supply get admission to to the SD-WAN 20.10 Sandbox and the SD-WAN Programmability Studying Lab, which will provide you with hands-on revel in with those equipment.

Week 2: Cisco SD-WAN Use Instances

In week two, we’ll dive into Cisco SD-WAN use instances, with a webinar on Day 0 eventualities. You’ll learn to use IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) to provision SD-WAN controllers and to onboard department units in multi-cloud setting.

After the webinar, we’ll host a web based workshop the place you’ll get to observe hands-on with Day 2 use instances and use the SD-WAN Programmability APIs to discover tracking, statistics, alarms, troubleshooting and growing customized dashboards the use of MongoDB.

Week 3: Sastre and Automation Toolset

Our ultimate week will focal point on Cisco SD-WAN automation toolset, with a webinar introducing you to Sastre – a collection of equipment that supply purposes to help with managing configuration parts and visualize knowledge from Cisco SD-WAN deployments. You’ll learn to use this toolset to automate Day 1 and Day 2 processes and achieve a deeper working out of Infrastructure-as-Code and DevOps ideas.

In the end, we’ll host a hands-on on-line workshop the place you’ll put your Sastre wisdom to the take a look at, the use of Sastre together with the SDWAN DevOps repository to automate commonplace use instances.
